I watched a video from the creative innovation 2011 convention. I watched a speaker names Roya Baghai talk about a group of young boys speak to a business board about how important they believed gender equality is. I think that the main message I got out of it is just how much someones creativity can impact society, and that as people grow older they tend to lose sight of how important it is to be creative.
Just think back to when you were little and everything was so simple, you think it and then you act. Like coloring in a coloring book. It did not matter what color your dog was when you were little, if you wanted a pink dog that is what you colored. Would you still do that now? Or does your dog have to be black, brown, or white?
heres the link to the video if you are interested...

Learning and Leading
1. The four dimensions that Guilford uses to describe creativity are fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration.
2. I think that I probably struggle with originality the most out of the four dimensions. I have a hard time coming up with my own, unique ideas. I am more of the kind of person who sees something neat and tries to replicate the product. In addition, when I do think of something original, my ideas tend to be the ones that are disrupting.
3. I think that blogging in general would help with practically all of the four dimensions of creativity. I think that writing a blog enables someone to be able to create multiple ideas about a topic, allows them to see things from their own point of view, they are able to be unique and original on their ideas about different topics, and they can use as little or as much elaboration as they feel is necessary to make their ideas clear.
4. Word it out is a good tool for fluency and flexibility because it allows someone to brainstorm and generate as many short and to the point ideas about a topic that they can. Ideally, this tool would then create a better chance for elaboration because they could base their information off of their ideas on the words they came up with.

My Creative Endeavor
Today I drew and painted a picture for one of my friends bedroom. I generally just use painting as a way of escaping life and the tribulations in it, but today my painting had a purpose. I wanted to give her something that would not only remind her of me but also our all powerful God each and every day. I wanted it to be something that was meaningful and would be encouraging to look at on rough days. My final result is this....

Horizon Report
When I consider the technology of today, it is hard for me to imagine it getting any more advanced. There are so many different things that technology is used for, in education especially. This being said, I think that because technology can be used practically anywhere at anytime people have a hard time seperating school and work from their home life. Everywhere I look someone is using some form of technology, and to me it is slowly diminishing the time people used to use enjoying family, life, and the natural entertainment.
In addition, I think that some educators are requiring students to do too much work on their own. It is almost as if they are teaching themselves how to do school work sometimes. I do not think that it should be this way because some people just do not learn as well by themself.
